About Simit
Simit is a popular circular bread with sesame seeds, originating from Turkish cuisine. It's often referred to as a cousin to the bagel but is lighter and crunchier. Made from simple ingredients like wheat flour, water, yeast, sugar, and salt, it is traditionally dipped in molasses and coated with sesame seeds before baking, which gives it its signature golden crust and nutty flavor. Simit is a good source of energy due to its carbohydrate content, and the sesame seeds provide healthy fats, protein, and essential nutrients like calcium and magnesium. However, its nutritional value can vary depending on portion size and accompaniments, as it is often enjoyed with cheese, jam, or tea. While simit is relatively low in sugar, mindful consumption is recommended for those managing their caloric intake, especially since it’s easy to indulge in its satisfying crunch.
